Answer:
(I) Price elasticity = 1/6
(II) the $2.5 price gives the higher revenue: 1,250
Explanation:
(I) price elasticity
↑Q (500 - 300)/((500+ 300) / 2)
↑Q 200 / (800/2) = 200/400 = 1/2
↑P (3.5 - 2.5)/((3.5+2.5)/2)
↑P 1/(6/2) = 1/3
(II) total revenue
3.5 x 300 = 1,050
2.5 x 500 = 1,250
Answer:
C. Assets are understated
Explanation:
In terms of IAS 2, Inventory cost include, the <em>purchase cost</em> , <em>conversion cost</em> and all <em>other costs directly related</em> to bringing the inventory in the correct location and condition intended for sale by the company.
The Company has not included <em>shipping costs</em> of $100 to inventory cost, hence inventory is understated and consequently this overstates the <em>cost of goods sold</em> and understate the Inventory , gross profit and net income by $100
Selling Expenses have been accounted for in error, therefore<em> Operating Expenses</em> are Overstated and <em>Net Income</em> understated by $100
Answer:
In this scenario, <u>LISA</u> has both an absolute advantage in food preparation, and <u>LISA</u> has a comparative advantage in food preparation.
Assume that initially, Sam and Lisa are splitting both tasks for a large number of events. Then they decide to start shifting some work according to the principle of comparative advantage. In particular, the person with the comparative advantage in food preparation will take over preparing food for one more event, and the other person will use the freed-up time to get more clients. As a result, the total number of events for which food is prepared will remain unchanged, but the number of new clients will increase by <u>1</u>.
Before they were getting 3 new customers since Sam got 2 and Lisa 1, but since Sam will only look for clients, then the total number of clients will be 4 (or 1 more).
Explanation:
It takes Sam 12 hours to prepare the food for an event and 3 hours of effort to get each new client.
- Sam's opportunity cost of preparing food = 12/3 = 4 new clients
- Sam's opportunity cost of getting new clients = 3/12 = 0.25 of food preparation
For Lisa, it takes 10 hours to prepare food for an event and 5 hours to get a new client.
- Lisa's opportunity cost of preparing food = 10/5 = 2 new clients
- Lisa's opportunity cost of getting new clients = 5/10 = 0.5 of food preparation
The opportunity costs associated with the use of resources owned by a firm are implicit costs.
